WICHITA, Canada (KWCH) – Meteorologist Jake Dunne says a winter storm will pass through the state today. While most Kansans will witness a low-impact snowfall, parts of northwestern and southwestern Kansas will experience a moderate impact.
Today there will be light to moderate snow in western Kansas, which will reach the Wichita area this afternoon and last all night. An accumulation of 2 to 4 inches is expected in western Kansas, while central and eastern Kansas will pick up an inch or two of snowfall. The heaviest snow will fall in the northwest corner of the state where up to half a foot of accumulation is expected.
After a quiet morning commute, even though we only expect an inch or two of snowfall in the Wichita area, most or all of it will fall during the afternoon and evening. This evening, in south-central Kansas, expect snow-covered roads.
The warmer weather returns to the state over the weekend, with highs exceeding the 1940s. Any snow on the ground in the back garden will be historic on the weekend, if not earlier, as temperatures evolve. until the 1950s on Sunday.
